As an injured party, you are entitled to seek both economic and non-economic damages, subject to New Jersey’s unique insurance laws.
| Category | Recoverable Expenses | NJ Law Consideration |
| Medical Expenses | Hospital bills, surgery costs, rehabilitation and physical therapy, prescription medications, and future medical care related to the accident. | Initially covered by your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) policy under NJ’s No-Fault system. |
| Lost Wages | Income lost due to time off work, as well as reduced earning capacity due to long-term injury. | Recoverable against the at-fault party. |
| Property Damage | Repair or replacement of the damaged vehicle and repair of other personal property damaged in the accident. | Subject to a six-year Statute of Limitations (N.J.S.A. 2A:14-1). |
| Pain and Suffering | Physical pain caused by injuries, emotional distress, mental anguish, and loss of quality of life. | Subject to the Verbal Threshold (N.J.S.A. 39:6A-8), requiring proof of a serious or permanent injury. |
| Legal Costs | Attorney fees (often recovered as a percentage of the final award) and litigation expenses (court fees, expert witness costs). | The lawsuit must be filed within the two-year Statute of Limitations for personal injury (N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2). |
Disclaimer: This list covers common types of compensation available following an accident. Actual recovery depends entirely on the specifics of your case and your insurance policy election.
👣 Our Process: From Accident to Compensation
We simplify the complexities of personal injury litigation, guiding you through every critical phase with clear, efficient action.
STEP #1: Accident Investigation
We meticulously gather and analyze all evidence—including police reports, witness statements, photographs, and expert assessments. This detailed approach establishes liability and builds a strong foundation for your claim, maximizing your chances of a favorable outcome.
STEP #2: Insurance Negotiation
Our lawyers work with insurers to obtain fair compensation by meticulously assessing all damages (medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering). We leverage knowledge of NJ liability rules (N.J.S.A. 2A:15-5.1 on Comparative Negligence) and legal precedents to counter low offers and secure rightful compensation efficiently.
STEP #3: Litigation
If negotiations fail, we are committed to zealous advocacy in court. Our experienced attorneys aggressively pursue fair compensation, thoroughly litigating your case to protect your rights and ensure you receive the justice and recovery you deserve.
New Jersey Laws That Shape Your Case
Two‑Year Statute of Limitations (N.J.S.A. 2A:14‑2)
You have 2 years from the crash date to file a negligence lawsuit. Miss the deadline, and the claim is barred.
Modified Comparative Negligence (N.J.S.A. 2A:15‑5.1 – 5.3)
You can recover damages if you are ≤ 50 % at fault. Your award is reduced by your share of blame.
No‑Fault PIP & Lawsuit Threshold (N.J.S.A. 39:6A‑8)
PIP pays medical bills first. Choosing the “verbal threshold” lowers premiums but limits pain‑and‑suffering suits to serious injuries; selecting “no limitation” preserves full rights.
No Caps on Compensatory Damages (Common‑law; N.J.S.A. 2A:15‑5.12 (punitive cap))
No ceiling on economic or non‑economic damages in auto‑injury cases. Only punitive damages are capped.
Contingency Fee Limits (N.J. Ct. Rule 1:21‑7)
Attorney fees are generally capped at 33 ⅓% of the first $750k, sliding downward for higher tiers. No fee unless we win.
